BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
Lineage: Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie Sr. > Helio Gracie > Carlos Gracie Jr. > Eduardo DeLima > Jay Valko
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a critical piece of our mixed martial arts training. While striking is extremely important for our program, many MMA fights and self-defense scenarios end up on the ground. Therefore, it is important that our students are competent in grappling based combat sports, like BJJ.
BJJ focuses on the skill of taking an opponent to the ground, controlling one's opponent, gaining a dominant position, and using a number of techniques to force them into submission. Mac's Gym offers BJJ as part of its premiere mixed martial arts training. We have our Gi BJJ classes on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings. We also offer a No-Gi class on Friday evenings. Check out our class schedule.
